Nalia & Imoen Options

[Sikret]

Are you happy with Nalia's class (= A weaker duplicate of Imeon)? Or do you prefer her to be a sorceress? Of course, she says things about lockpicking in her dialogues, but perhaps they are not really too many or too important. Another alternative is to increase her level in thief class to make her a better thief for those who want to save a slot for a party member (though in this way she will become even more identical with Imoen).

Another option is to leave Nalia as she is and change Imoen to a Sorceress when you find her in Spellhold. The justification can be that through the rituals and experiments performed on her, amazing and radical changes have occurred in her mental status.

A last and moderate choice is to leave both of them as they are but just re-distribute Nalia's thieving skills to make her a better trap finder/disarmer. 10% of her pick pocket skill can be safely moved to her remove trap.

Any comments?

The biggest argument for Imoen's theiving skills in BG2 is that she was a single-classed thief in BG1. I always thought that switching her to a dualed mage in BG2 was a cheesy plot device used to get her hauled off to Spellhold rather than any natural progresson or career inclination. But many players do treat them as completely unrelated games, I suppose.

Well, she started out with an intelligence of 17 in BG1. That's just enough to dual-class her to Mage. Personally, I doubt that her intelligence score was a coincidence.
